Why We Like The 808 NSW Carbon Disc Brake Wheel
We’ve seen the 808 NSW parading around at the highest levels of the sport for years now, but the results are still impressive, every time. Not to be outdone by its sponsored athletes, Zipp has upped its own performance quota by adding a tubeless-ready rim and disc brakes to the 808 NSW Carbon Disc Brake Road Wheel. The base 808 NSW enjoys improved aerodynamics, a revised carbon layup, and better braking than the 808 Firecrest, but this wheel brakes even better and the option to run tubeless tires lets you run lower PSI for a cushier, more efficient ride.
